• On the post: Re-Funding The Police: Taxpayers On The Hook For Billions of Dollars Of Law Enforcement Lawsuit Settlements

  Maybe all settlements should come from the law enforcement agency’s budget?

  Which budget, the one they're given or the one they steal under asset forfeiture?

  They'll probably make you pay taxes on it then take the full amount back anyway to "return" to the owner all the while keeping a very large percentage instead of returning the full amount.

  If Minneapolis really wants to surveil criminals, then maybe the body cams should be pointed at the officers.

  An end to this madness only happens if Putin himself feels pressure to do so and that can ultimately only come from his own pissed off people. Every little bit helps.

  Cancel culture on a global scale...never thought I'd see it.

  Re: uh huh,..

  So while they are driving down the road a cop is going to text another driver about a infraction? Also not covered is how will the cops prove that the vehicle was anywhere near where the supposed violation occurred? I can easily see some local department turing it into a revenue stream (looking at you Alabama) where cops just enter a random plate and violation into the system.
